Monday Moaning

My God I hate the Flyers! I hate Philly in general...Then of course there is the fact that I thought the Devils would end up in the Stanley Cup Finals...After losing to the Flyers Sunday night in OT, then the above gang bang took place, the Devils slipped behind 2-1 in the series...And these bastards from Philly have some serious momentum...Although sooner or later their shitty goaltending will show up again, and they'll get bounced...

If you aren't a Hockey fan, now is the time to check it out...The playoffs are exciting as hell, and you can expect the unexpected...(yeah, I just wrote that...Hey Bettman, give me a job in the PR department...Hell give me your job , you f**king hack!)

The other playoff series right now look like this...Phoenix leads Detroit 2-1...Pittsburgh Lead Ottawa 2-1...Screw the Pens! ...Nashville and Chicago are tied at one game each...As I write this San Jose and Colorado are also tied at 1-1, but are playing right now...Montreal and Washington are tied at 1 each, as are Boston and Buffalo...Those are looking like they may be a couple of tough series...And Vancouver and LA are tied at 1 game each...The fun has just started...So try and find Versus on you provider...(Bettman, F**k You! Pay Me!)

Moving on to a little Baseball...Yeah, I said Baseball...It's that fun time of year where the NHL playoffs are getting revved up, and Baseball as started their long ass marathon season...I get into Baseball early...But then lose interest when the NHL Finals near...By that time the Cleveland Indians are out it, and I'm saying Go Red Sox...Frighteningly, the Indians and their 6-6 record are doing better then the 4-8 Red Sox...

But the BIG Baseball news this week has got to be, Ubaldo Jimenez of the Colorado Rockies throwing the first no-hitter in franchise history...Jimenez threw 128 pitches in the feat against the Atlanta Braves, and is off to a great start...3-0 with a 1.29 ERA...

The Braves bounced back Sunday with a 4-3 victory over the Rockies, lead by rookie Jason Heyward...I don't normally get excited about the hyped up rookies...But this kid looks like the real deal...He's got great instincts...Tons of talent...And great patience at the plate for his age (20)...He's hitting .301 with 3 home runs and a .423 on-base percentage...Not a bad start.

Alright, enough of this sports stuff...I'm kinda of happy, yet a little sad to report, The Little Beeze was pretty damn well behaved again this week...He still has his moments where he puts up a fight about something stupid...But he's been really good...So Sunday I treated him to a bit of a reward...He loves going to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History...Dude loves the Dinosaur bones!

(Look at that b!tch wearing a Red Wings hoodie! I know the Cleve doesn't have a NHL team, but damn...Detroit!?!)

So after checking out The Dinos, and all the Planetarium, and all the other cool shit...It was gift shop time...He really loves that place too! He got a stuffed animal snake...A brother for the one he got last time...He also grabbed a pack of some toy animals...Then he though it would be a good idea to get something for his older sister...So he grabbed a set of 4 blank lizards that came with paint and brushes so, you can make then look really f**ked up...My daughter painted 1...The boy painted 3...And you'd think he was on acid when he did them...

Now, for those who may be wondering how my attempt at weight loss is going...It's going well...For those of you who don't know...The wife made a deal with me...If we drop 25 pounds, I get to pop her in the dirt star...

I'm leading the race...I'm down 15 pounds...And pushing her...We just brought the "AB Circle" into the mix, and she's diggin' that...

When I told her how much I had lost she said, "I like my fat hog." I replied, "You never have to worry about losing your fat hog!"

Now as I wind this down...Here's a random hot ass shot...Just 'cause!

Before I go..Last week I talked a bit about my inner geek...I saw this via twitter last week, and loved it...So I had to share it...




Have a great week...

Later, The Beeze.

Monday Moaning

They say Every Picture tells a story...So this week I'm gonna use that as my theme...

What does that first picture say? A couple things...First, I needed another cup of coffee before I did this crap...You'll see why later...Second, I clearly have some geek in me, since I have a Boba Fett coffee cup...That's right, it's not all sex, sports, and ranting here...There is some geekiness too...Hell the Beeze family was playing Star Wars Monopoly tonight...

And before this goes any further...There will be no talk of Tiger Woods, or The Masters...I could give a shit...I'd rather be Watching the Paint Dry then watch golf...

(If you don't get that reference and the picture above, just move on)...

Sunday was a big day for a New York Rangers fan like myself...The Rangers took on the Philadelphia Flyers...The winner moved on into the last playoff spot...The loser, was just that...This game also had personal bragging rights on the line, as my father is a Flyers fan, and my Red White and Blue blood can't stand those bastards....

Once again Henrik Lunqvist did all he could for the Rangers...Stopping 46 of 47 shots on goal...But of course he's teammates played way to cautious with the lead, and went back to their old ways of not shooting the puck enough...It's sad when your looking for Jody Shelley and Brandon Prust to light the lamp instead of Marian Gaborik, and Olli Jokinen...

The game first went to OT...Then to a shootout...The Flyers up 2-1...Here comes, Overpaid, Overrated, if you trade for him, your team will go in the shitter, Olli Jokinen...And, NO GOAL!

Flyers win...Dad calls, busts my balls...Season over for the boys in blue...Go Bruins!

It was time to drown my sorrows... That's right...A six pack of Peroni and a Chicken Club Pizza from Dina's.... Don't worry, I finished it all...Extra 20 minutes added to the workout tomorrow...

I had Saturday off from The Fish House...So what did I do? Took the kids to the grocery store and prepared a dinner for the wife and a few of her friends...They were trying to have a special night without spending too much cash, so I offered to feed them...This also meant getting the kids to behave and leave their mother alone for the evening...The kids were great...Now I have to take them out, so they can pick a reward for themselves...Yes, I bribe them...

Here's what we made for the ladies...

Strawberry Gazpacho with sauteed shrimp...Those are pita chips on the side...The Mrs. likes to eat it like salsa...

Balsamic Roasted Pear over a Spinach and Goat Cheese Salad with a Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette...

My wife's favorite...Filet Mignon with mashed potatoes, green beans, and a red wine reduction...

After that, the ladies went out for more drinks...I was left to put the kids bed, which wasn't hard since it was well past their bedtime...Oh, and the Little Beeze had been up since 4:30 AM...Evil Bastard!

Then I got online and searched out new and exciting things to squeeze off a couple rounds to...

It's gonna be hard to follow that up...But I'd like to end with a good old fashioned punch in the face...

I've never been one to believe in Karma...But after I saw this video, I thought...There has to be something...Fate...Destiny...A little, what goes around, comes around...Something...Maybe even Karma...Because after seeing Matt 'Cheap Shot, Dirty, Scumbag, Douche' Cooke get knocked out by Evander Kane, something about the world just felt right...

Have a good week...

Later, The Beeze.
